न्यायकर्ताहरू 1

1 यहोशूको मृत्युपछि, इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले परमप्रभुलाई यसो भनेर सोधे, “हाम्रा निम्ति कनानीहरूका विरुद्धमा युद्ध लड्‍नलाई तिनीहरूलाई पहिला कसले आक्रमण गर्नुपर्छ?”

And it came to pass after the death of Joshua that the children of Israel asked Jehovah, saying, Which of us shall go up against the Canaanites first, to fight against them?

2 परमप्रभुले भन्‍नुभयो, “यहूदाले आक्रमण गर्नेछ । हेर, मैले तिनीहरूलाई यस देशमाथि अधिकार दिएको छु ।”

And Jehovah said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.

3 यहूदाका मानिसहरूले आफ्ना दाजुभाइ शिमियोनीहरूलाई यसो भने, “हामीलाई दिइएको इलाकामा हामीसँग आओ, यसरी कनानीहरूका विरुद्ध हामीले एकसाथ युद्ध लड्‍न सक्‍छौं । त्‍यसरी नै हामी पनि तिमीहरूलाई दिइएको इलाकामा तिमीहरूसँग जानेछौं ।” यसैले शिमियोनी कुल तिनीहरूसँग गए ।

And Judah said to Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my lot, and let us fight against the Canaanites, and I likewise will go with thee into thy lot; and Simeon went with him.

4 यहूदाका मानिसहरूले आक्रमण गरे, र परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई कनानीहरू र परिज्‍जीहरूमाथि विजय दिनुभयो । तिनीहरूले बेजेकमा तिनीहरूका दश हजार जनालाई मारे ।

And Judah went up; and Jehovah delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand, and they smote them in Bezek, ten thousand men.

5 तिनीहरूले बेजेकमा अदोनी-बेजेकलाई भेट्टाए, र उनको विरुद्ध तिनीहरू लडे, अनि कनानीहरू र परिज्‍जीहरूलाई परास्त गरे ।

And they found Adoni-Bezek in Bezek, and fought against him, and they smote the Canaanites and the Perizzites.

6 तर अदोनी-बेजेक भागे, र तिनीहरूले उनलाई लखेटे र समाए, र तिनीहरूले उनका हात र खुट्टाका बुढी औंला काटिदिए ।

And Adoni-Bezek fled, and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.

7 अदोनी-बेजेकले भने, “हात र खुट्टाका बुढी औंला काटिएका सत्तरी जना राजाले मेरो टेबिलको मुनिबाट आफ्‍नो निम्ति भोजन बाटुल्‍थे । मैले जस्तो गरेको थिएँ, परमेश्‍वरले मलाई त्यस्तै गर्नुभएको छ ।” तिनीहरूले उनलाई यरूशलेममा ल्याए, र उनी त्यहीं मरे ।

And Adoni-Bezek said, Seventy kings, with their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gleaned under my table: as I have done, so God has requited me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and there he died.

8 यहूदाका मानिसहरू यरूशलेम सहरको विरुद्धमा युद्ध गरे र त्यसलाई कब्जामा लिए । तिनीहरूले त्यो सहरलाई तरवारको धारले आक्रमण गरे र त्यसमा आगो लगाइदिए ।

10 यहूदा हेब्रोनमा बस्‍ने (हेब्रोनको नाउँ पहिला किर्यत-अर्बा थियो) कनानीहरूतर्फ अगाडि बढे, र तिनीहरूले शेशै, अहीमन, र तल्मैलाई परास्त गरे ।

And Judah went against the Canaanites that dwelt in Hebron — the name of Hebron before was Kirjath-Arba; and they slew Sheshai and Ahiman and Talmai.

11 त्यहाँबाट यहूदाका मानिसहरू दबीरका बासिन्दाहरूतर्फ अगि बढे (पहिला दबीरको नाउँ किर्यत-सेपेर थियो) ।

And from there he went against the inhabitants of Debir; now the name of Debir before was Kirjath-sepher.

12 कालेबले भने, “जसले किर्यत-सेपेरलाई आक्रमण गर्छ र त्यसलाई लिन्‍छ, त्यसको पत्‍नी हुनलाई मेरी छोरी अक्सालाई म दिनेछु ।”

And Caleb said, He that smites Kirjath-sepher and takes it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter as wife.

13 कालेबका भाइ कनजका छोरा, ओत्‍निएलले दबीरमाथि कब्जा गरे, यसैले कालेबले आफ्नी छोरी अक्सा तिनकी पत्‍नी हुनलाई दिए ।

And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it; and he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife.

14 चाँडै नै अक्सा ओत्‍निएलकहाँ आइन्, र आफ्ना बुबासँग तिनको निम्ति एउटा जमिन मागिदिनलाई बिन्ती गरिन् । तिनी आफ्नो गधाबाट तल झर्दै गर्दा, कालेबले तिनलाई सोधे, “तिम्रो निम्ति म के गर्न सक्‍छु?”

And it came to pass as she came, that she urged him to ask of her father the field; and she sprang down from the ass. And Caleb said to her, What wouldest thou?

15 तिनले उनलाई भनिन्, “मलाई एउटा आशिष् दिनुहोस् । तपाईंले मलाई नेगेवको भूमि दिनुभएको छ, मलाई पानीका मूलहरू पनि दिनुहोस् ।” यसैले कालेबले तिनलाई माथिल्लो र तल्लो पानीका मूलहरू दिए ।

And she said to him, Give me a blessing; for thou hast given me a southern land; give me also springs of water. And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.

19 परमप्रभु यहूदाका मानिसहरूसँग हुनुहुन्थ्यो र तिनीहरूले पहाडी देशमाथि अधिकार गरे, तर तिनीहरूले मैदानका बासिन्दाहरूलाई बाहिर निकाल्न सकेनन्, किनभने तिनीहरूसँग फलामका रथहरू थिए ।

23 तिनीहरूले बेथेलमा जासुसी गर्न मानिसहरू पठाए (त्यो सहरलाई पहिला लूज भनिन्थ्यो) ।

And the house of Joseph sent to search out Bethel; now the name of the city before was Luz.

24 ती जासुसहरूले सहरबाट एक जना मानिस बाहिर निस्कँदै गरेको देखे, र तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई भने, “सहरभित्र कसरी प्रवेश गर्ने भनेर कृपया हामीलाई देखाउनुहोस्, र तपाईंप्रति हामी दयालु हुनेछौं ।”

And the guards saw a man come forth out of the city, and said unto him, Shew us, we pray thee, how [we] may enter into the city, and we will shew thee kindness.

25 उसले तिनीहरूलाई त्यो सहरभित्र जाने बाटो देखायो, र यसैले तिनीहरूले त्यो सहरलाई तरवारको धारले आक्रमण गरे, तर तिनीहरूले त्यस मानिस र उसका जम्मै परिवारलाई जान दिए ।

And he shewed them how to enter into the city. And they smote the city with the edge of the sword; but they let go the man and all his family.
